Could've been a fun ride ...

Rating: 5/10 (7 July 2007)

... but unfortunately it's not. If you look at who's responsible for the movie, you kind of know that this one will not go into the dramatic part of the main theme/story that it revolves (if you've seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about, for all the others, I wrote it like that, so it won't spoiler anything for you), but will stay on the lighter side.
Unfortunately it does try dramatic/philosophical at some point and it never quite achieves that. That's were the fun part will get spoiled. But that's not all, you also got characters (one in particular, Djimoun Hounsou), who have mood changes that just don't make any sense! Even in a movie like this, there's got to be at least the bit of sense for the audience to care ... but if you people changing "directions" like leaves in the wind ...
That might be nit-picking for some, but it wasn't for me :o)
